Stop Smoking

Stop Smoking with Hypnosis Grantham and Newark

Most smokers want to give up smoking because they know like the rest of us about the dangers of smoking cigarettes and its affect on our health and wellbeing. For most smokers the main reason to give up smoking is for health and other obvious health risks to their children and families through passive smoking. Another main reason to quit smoking is the sheer price of them ! So, whatever your reasons to stop smoking, Hypnotherapy in Grantham can help you achieve that goal in Grantham and Newark.

Various studies support the effectiveness of hypnosis in smoking cessation. The largest ever study was conducted by the University of Iowa, which combined the results from more than 600 studies covering over 70,000 smokers from across America and Europe to compare various methods of quitting. They found that on average, hypnosis proved to be over three times as effective as nicotine replacement methods and 15 times more effective than trying to quit alone.

In 2007, a study by the North Shore Medical Center and Massachusetts General Hospital found that hospitalised patients were much more likely to quit through use of hypnotherapy than any other method.

A new study shows that smoking patients who participated in one hypnotherapy session were more likely to be nonsmokers at 6 months compared with patients using nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) alone or patients who quit “cold turkey” (American College of Chest Physicians, 2007).

Hypnotherapy supports your desire to stop smoking and to break the habit by working with your unconscious mind and brings the conscious and unconscious mind together effectively with new and positive ideas and images to focus on the same objective:Giving up smoking and living a happy and healthier life as well as a longer life !

If you stop smoking now, the benefits start in 20 minutes.

With all of these health benefits and the rest, why are you still smoking? Make the commitment today, and get the professional help you need to quit smoking successfully by contacting Dr. Michael G Millett at the Clinic of Hypnotherapy and Holistic Practices in Grantham`s Town Centre.

A typical hypnotherapy session with Michael for smoking cessation lasts just over 2 hours. During this time he will go through a consultation and discussion about your smoking and general lifestyle habits, your personal reasons for wanting to quit smoking and the dangers of smoking and the health improvements which you will benefit from once you’ve stopped smoking with his help. The consultation is followed by hypnosis which will firstly get you in a nice relaxed and receptive state to include hypnotherapy techniques, positive affirmations and suggestions to influence the way you think and behave and break your connections with smoking, whether they are a psychological or emotional addiction (such as reward, stress or boredom) or physical (such as after a meal or while having a drink).

Michael also uses techniques, which are based on how the Mind and Body learn and
communicate called Neurolinguistic Programming, or NLP for short, together with EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) which deals with emotional, physical and performance disruption in the body`s energy field and has been proven successful in thousands of clinical cases. These methods used together produce fast and lasting results.

The majority of Michael`s clients stop smoking after just one session with less than 5% requiring a second session. However, if a follow up session is required, within the crucial 30 day period, there is no extra charge.

So remember – As the days go by, you will also feel a surge of self-respect as you master your addiction, and over time that will translate into a greater sense of self-esteem, health and happiness for you.

I really don’t know how to thank you for our session last week.
EFT is really changing my life. I am so glad I made an appointment to see you to learn the technique from someone with your huge experience with EFT.
I’m going to continue to use EFT in my life for all sorts of issues, and I’ll make sure to keep you updated, and will come to see you soon again. Thanks again for everything Michael.

Dear Michael I just thought I would drop you an email to let you know that I have been feeling very good since our first hypnotherapy appointment last Tuesday. I continue to feel very peaceful, and serene about everything, and the stress I was feeling seems to have gone.
I am looking forward to seeing you next Tuesday for some more hypnotherapy.
Thanks so much.

I decided to go to Michael after a few of my friends had been to see him. I just had my first session with him, and I can honestly say that after just one session, I already feel better than I have felt in a very long time !
I know that I will be able to achieve something here, and I am so glad we have someone like him in Grantham. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to improve themselves !

I just wanted to really thank you Michael for helping me overcome my social anxieties through your sessions and hypno-analysis. These last few years have been very hard for me, and now 5 months later after first coming to see you, things are so much different thankfully. Relationships are improving all the time – more than I could hope for all those months ago.
My relationship with myself gets better and better. Thank you for everything. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending you to all !

When you are looking for a therapist, you need to find one that’s right for you, and has the right experience, and positive intention. And Michael was so right for me. What we achieved together throughout 2015 has totally changed my life beyond recognition. After our first session, I was more than willing to drive from Peterborough for our sessions in Grantham. You are the only one that can change you, but you need the best therapist to help with, and support that change. With Michael’s guidance I headed in the right direction. Thank you, Michael ! Much love !!
